Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given phrase.
    At large
    Solution
    Choice C is correct as it means 'free' as in 'The murderer was at large'. Choice A is wrong as it does mean 'very famous' Choice B is wrong as it does not mean 'not famous' Choice D is wrong as it does not mean 'very far'.  
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description: 
    One who loves one's country.
    Solution
    The word, 'patriot' refers to 'a person who vigorously loves and supports his country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors'. Hence, option C is correct. 
    The person, 'revolutionary' means 'a person who advocates or engages in political revolution'. The word, 'traitor' means 'a person who betrays someone or something, such as a friend, cause, or principle'. The word, 'ambassador' means 'an accredited diplomat sent by a country as its permanent representative in a foreign country'. 
    As the meanings of the words, 'revolutionary', 'traitor' and 'ambassador' do not mean 'persons living at the same time', options A, B and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify and replace the Adverb in the following sentence with an Adverb Phrase of the same meaning:

    He wore the golden crown proudly. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.
    Option B is correct. Not only has the adverb "proudly" been replaced by an adverb phrase, it also retains the meaning of the original adverb. The adverb has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride".
    Option A is incorrect. While the adverb "proudly" has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride", the adjective "golden" has been unnecessarily changed to "made of gold". The question asks only for the adverb to be replaced.
    Option C is incorrect as it is not the adverb that has been replaced by an adverb phrase, but the adjective "golden" has been replaced by an adjective phrase.
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the verb and its object in the sentence:
    The children played soccer.
    Solution
    The object of the verb is that which receives the action or the verb itself. Here, "soccer" receives the action "played", hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the phrase:
    Might is ______ .
    Solution
    The phrase, 'Might is right' means 'those who are powerful can do what they wish unchallenged, even if their action is in fact unjustified'. Hence, the word, 'might' in option D is the correct answer.  The other word, 'tight', 'quiet', 'right' are not the correct verbs to complete the phrase. Hence, options A. B and C are incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
    Prevention is better than ________.
    Solution
    The proverb, 'Prevention is better than cure' means: 'It is easier to stop something happening in the first place than to repair the damage after it has happened'. Hence, the word which can complete the proverb meaningfully is 'cure' given in option C.
    The other words, 'invention', 'imagination' and 'creation' do not complete the proverb meaningfully. Hence, options A. B and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the phrase:
    Do good and ______.
    Solution
    The phrase, 'Do good and forget it' means 'If you have done something right, you should not spend time congratulating yourself. You should rather forget it'. The reason is that one tends to expect something in return for the good that they do. If such a gesture is not reciprocated, one could get disappointed or resentful. Hence, it is better to do the right thing and forget it. 
    Given the above meaning, the word, 'forget' in option D is the correct answer. 
    The other words/ phrase given in options A, B and C do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify and replace the Adverb Phrase with an Adverb of the same meaning:

    He drives like a maniac. [Basic]
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence :
    problems | while | reading | face | you | can |  many
    Solution
    Normal sentences in active voice follow the pattern: Subject-verb-object. The subject and object of a sentence can be either a noun (problems) or pronoun (you).  'Can' is an auxiliary which is used along with the verb, 'face'. Hence, the two words appear together as a phrase i.e 'can face'. 'Many' is an adjective which modifies the noun, 'problems'. Hence, 'many problems' is an acceptable phrase. The words, 'while reading' is an adverb of time which modifies the verb, 'can face'. These adverbs are usually placed at the end of a sentence, or in the beginning. 
    The acceptable sequences are: (i) 'You can face many problems while reading' as given in option B; Or (ii) 'While reading, you can face many problems'. 
    Option B follows the 'subject-verb-object' pattern and conveys a meaningful sentence as given above. It is the correct answer.  
    Option A: This sequence is incorrect as the pronoun, 'you' is immediately followed by a noun 'problems' without any word in between. Hence, this option is grammatically incorrect. 
    Option C: The sequence, 'problems many' is grammatically incorrect as the adjective does not follow the noun it modifies. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option D: The noun 'problems' is immediately followed by the pronoun (you) without any word in between. This is grammatically incorrect. Hence, this option is incorrect.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the best answer:
    "I get a real kick out of reaching the school before anybody else" means _______________.
    Solution
    The correct answer must have the same meaning as the quoted statement.
    Option C is correct. 'Get a real kick' means 'enjoy'. Thus, option C has the same meaning as the given statement. Hence, it is the correct answer.
    Options A, B and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.
